Jiang Feng waited in the black river, waiting for those creatures who fell out of the spatial cracks above the river to be killed by the black river. Jiang Feng could then collect the contents contained in the bodies of these creatures.

Don't look at these creatures that died in the river, they are not very powerful, and the value of what can be harvested is limited. But these things, for the current Jiang Feng, are already a huge and incomparable wealth. Those beads alone are already beyond the reach of many people.

This time, Jiang Feng can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. If it weren't for the fact that he was chased and had nowhere to run, and he went deep into the mining area vigorously, Jiang Feng would not have encountered this black river, and he would not have had such a harvest as he has now. Now that Jiang Feng is not leaving, he just stays here, slowly collecting. It's much better here than anywhere else. If you go, you are a fool.

I didn't find anyone coming here, only Jiang Feng came here alone. In fact, Jiang Feng didn't know that even if someone came to this black river, there was no way to enter this river. It's hard to even get over the river. If you don't have enough strength to cross this river, you can't do it.

I don't know how long it has been, Jiang Feng found that the creatures that fell from it began to become fewer and fewer. He had a vague feeling that maybe no creature would be there soon. Now, that spatial crack still exists, and Jiang Feng naturally has to wait. Even if no creature fell, Jiang Feng would have to wait here.

It didn't take long, and the number of creatures that fell down was much smaller. At this time, this spatial rift, which existed above the river, began to disappear. Jiang Feng was not far from the position of the river, and he saw that the spatial crack disappeared. Jiang Feng knew that there was no need to stay in this position. He's going to look elsewhere. Perhaps in other locations, there will be something to gain.

After the spatial crack completely disappeared, Jiang Feng left. He did not go ashore, but walked along the river, in the water. He looked closely, trying to see if there was anything else. Since one spatial rift can appear above the river, it is possible that a second one will appear. Then in other spatial cracks, it is also possible that there are creatures that appear and fall into the river. In this way, Jiang Feng would have a chance to get what was in the living organism's body again.

It is true that there is not only one spatial rift above the river, but there are other spatial rifts. It's just that now these spatial cracks are disappearing. No more creatures have come out of the cracks in space. Jiang Feng would not be able to encounter the creatures that fell into the river.

If no creature falls, it doesn't mean that Jiang Feng won't have something to gain. No, Jiang Feng has a harvest. In the river, he found several beads, and a few other things. This is a depression at the bottom of the river, where a small whirlpool is formed. After some creatures fell, they were corrupted, and after their bodies melted, the remaining things came here along the current, and gathered here, just when Jiang Feng found them. After discovering this place, Jiang Feng was naturally very happy, and quickly put away all the things here.

If it is a mineral, a weapon, or some special plants such as spirit grass, it will exist in the river for a long time, and it will not be so easy to melt away. But that kind of bead, it's different. The beads, after being in the river for a while, disappeared. If Jiang Feng had come a little later, he might not have been able to get so many beads.

Such a place is not so easy to find. It's too rare to find a place where there is a depression and a small whirlpool where some beads are gathered. After Jiang Feng continued to move forward, there was nothing to gain. After a long time, Jiang Feng stopped.

"The spatial rift is no longer available. I don't know if it's all gone, or if only the spatial rift here is gone. I don't know what happened to the rest of the world. It doesn't have much to do with me, though. I don't need to worry about anything else, I just need to take care of myself. I can practice here now, improve my strength, and then think about other things. This black river water may be very important to me, and I can't miss this opportunity. Jiang Feng said to himself.

He found a place at the bottom of the river and began to practice. The main thing is to absorb the corrupt aura here to increase your strength. Originally, Jiang Feng also wanted to get a formation here to isolate the water here, which made him more comfortable. But this idea did not come to fruition.

It's not that Jiang Feng doesn't know how to arrange a suitable formation, he has arranged a formation that can isolate the water, but this formation was quickly melted by the river water here. Soon it was useless. Jiang Feng also knew that this river was too powerful, and if he wanted to arrange the formation, he couldn't do it. He could only stay in the water. Since then, Jiang Feng has begun to practice here with peace of mind and doesn't care about other things.

Absorbing the corrupt aura here, what is strengthened is naturally also the power of corruption. But this can also quickly increase Jiang Feng's strength. Jiang Feng had already thought about it. When he leaves here, he won't use this power lightly. He feared that this power would be ostracized and would cause him trouble. If his strength is strong, then he is naturally not afraid. Not now, Jiang Feng's realm is still low, and he can't take risks.

Under the black river, after practicing for a year and three months, Jiang Feng found that the corrupting aura around him began to weaken. And the pressure brought by the river is also weakening. Jiang Feng was not afraid of the pressure of the river now. But if the pressure changes, Jiang Feng can still feel it. Less pressure in the river means less water. Jiang Feng suddenly thought of a question, could it be that the river was drying up.

Sure enough, just as Jiang Feng thought, the river was drying up. In less than a month, the river bottomed out. Now Jiang Feng was floating on the river, looking at the black river that was about to disappear. Jiang Feng understood that this black river would not always exist, it would dry up. Then there would be no need for him to stay here.

"The corrupt aura around it has become a little stronger. I don't know if it's because the corrupt smell in the river has spread to the surrounding area. In fact, if you stay here, you will be able to practice for a while. However, there is no living creature in sight around now, so let's go and see it from a distance. Jiang Feng thought so.

In fact, Jiang Feng's judgment was incorrect. The corrupt aura in the mining area has not only become stronger, but much stronger. The reason why Jiang Feng was wrong in his judgment was because Jiang Feng had been in the black black water for more than a year. The smell of corruption in the black river water was strong, far exceeding the concentration outside. This made Jiang Feng misjudge the surrounding situation. Now in the mining area, it is difficult to enter people, because the corrupt aura is too strong.

When Jiang Feng began to move and began to go to other places to see, Jiang Feng realized how correct his current decision was. If he stayed in the river that had dried up to cultivate, his strength would naturally increase a little. But he couldn't meet what he was now.

He saw something on the ground. That's what is left of the creature after it dies. It's still the kind of situation where there are no bodies. Only what remains. If it's one or two, maybe someone missed it. But within an area, you can see several beads, but this one is different. There must have been a lot of creatures here that died here and left these beads behind. If there are no corpses, then there can only be one reason, the corpses are all decomposed. It must be that after the corrupting aura here became stronger, the corpses here hatched. In fact, it is.

Before, in the black river water, Jiang Feng picked up things. Now on land, I'm picking things up as well. There was no creature in sight, only a strong smell of corruption. Jiang Feng picked up something valuable whenever he saw it. Whatever it is, pick it up. He was moving faster and faster. And not to leave the mine, but to continue deeper. There are fewer people in the depths of the mine, and there are more creatures there, so there should be more things to stay.

In this way, Jiang Feng had a great gain in the rapid movement. It's still a little late for him to act. If he had come out of the black river earlier, he would have gained more than now. Because there is something that is already dissolving. A little longer, and nothing will exist above the surface.

Now, there are no more people in the entire mining area. At this time, there are too few people who dare to be in the mining area. Even the strong ones were evacuated early. In the mining area here in the mining area, the city is now empty. Many of the houses have been taken away, and the remaining ones, the ones that have not been moved out, are now in dilapidated condition.

The reason for this is that the corrupt aura in the mining area is constantly increasing and spreading. The spread to the area is too large, and it has reached the mining area here in the city. The people in the city naturally had to evacuate. Those houses are also corrupted in the smell of corruption. If this continues, there will be nothing left of the mining cities.

Since the aura of corruption can corrupt everything, why can valuable minerals be found in the mining area? Why do the minerals in the mining area, even some spirit grasses, still exist? Shouldn't they all be gone?

What appears in the mining area has a special character. Now if you drop something in the mine, it will disappear very quickly. But after disappearing, it doesn't mean that it is really completely gone, but it will exist in another way.

It's like the corpses of these creatures, and the beads. After being corrupted by the aura of corruption, it actually took on a different form. It's as if a solid state becomes a liquid state and a liquid state becomes a gaseous state. These materials, or energies, are still present in this place. And little by little, it will go underground, and somewhere in the ground or on the ground, it will come back together and form something new. It is also an important source of ore here.

Jiang Feng searched for a while in the depths of the mining area, and then began to walk outside the mining area. The further you go outside, the less you gain. Soon I couldn't find anything. I can't see people either. Jiang Feng knew that everyone should have evacuated. The creatures are gone, and the corrupting aura is still so strong, so it's naturally not good to stay here. Jiang Feng wasn't in a hurry to go out, anyway, he was fine here. Now Jiang Feng is in a good mood because his harvest is very good.

When Jiang Feng came to the mining city, he saw that the mining city was also shrouded in the aura of corruption. And when the corrupt aura here was not weak at all, Jiang Feng knew if the corrupt aura in the mining area had spread. All he could think of was the dry black river. Could it be that the river evaporated, causing the mining city to be corrupted by the smell of corruption?

"If the river really affects the mining city, then this kind of diffusion distance is a bit far. If there is enough corrupt aura to spread continuously, the world will be covered by the aura of corruption. The houses in the city are in tatters, and some of them have nothing left. If this corrupting aura spreads to the whole world, then the whole world will be doomed. This kind of power is terrifying. It will definitely make many people afraid. Jiang Feng muttered to himself.

In the mining city, there are only a few houses left that they are not willing to take away, and these houses are still in the process of melting. Originally, these houses were not worth much, but now they are all dilapidated, and there is no need to search in this mining city. There won't be anything left here. There won't be a shop that leaves its stuff here. Even if they stayed, they would probably be corrupted by the aura of corruption.

Jiang Feng didn't want to waste time, he wanted to leave this mining city and go to a place where there was no smell of corruption. He'd have to find out what's going on here. You can't just ignore anything.

When he was about to walk out of the mining city, Jiang Feng saw a person, a person lying on the ground. This is a woman, a dying woman. It looks like the injury isn't light. And the aura of corruption is threatening this man. The reason why this person did not die was because there was still a weak layer of protection on his body. Without this layer of protection, then the person would have died long ago. Now this layer of protection is about to disappear. When this layer of protection is gone, the woman is dead.

Jiang Feng didn't leave like this. This man is here alone, and he is still injured, there must be a reason. Jiang Feng didn't care about the reason. He just felt that this woman should have a bit of background, because the general protection couldn't last a while. This woman should not be here for a while. After Jiang Feng thought about it, he decided to take this person out.

The moment he approached this woman, Jiang Feng reined in his strength. And the clothes on his body were quickly corrupted, and even his own flesh and skin were also corrupted. He did it on purpose. Only in this way is it normal.
